Definitions

  • Another problem in the prior art has been the difficulty in simultaneously binding the edges of many compartments full of sheets even in conventional binders.
  • the conventional techniques for binding multiple groups of sheets involve moving the groups of sheets past the binding medium. Movement of the sheets has prevented the conventional techniques from being useful in an in-line sheet sorter.
  • Sheet joggers for collators, sorters or the like have heretofor jogged one edge only of the sheets to align the sheets along that edge, with the remaining right angle edges being left generally out of alignment. This has been conventionally accomplished with an active or movable edge jogger for the side edge and merely a passive decelerator or stop for the edge at 90° to the side edge. As a result, the sheets are not adequately aligned during the sorting or collating operation sufficient to bind the sheets into a permanent document.
  • the binder is a part of a collator, sorter or the like but the principles of the invention also can be used in an off-line binding apparatus.
  • control means are provided for selectively locating the adhesive along one or more points on the lengthwise edges of the sheets. Furthermore, in the preferred embodiment, less than all of the occupied compartments can be bound. Still further, in the preferred embodiment, multiple coatings of adhesive can be applied to the edges.
  • first sheet edge engaging means for positioning a first edge of each sheet
  • movable second sheet edge engaging means for moving an opposite edge toward said first sheet edge engaging means
  • third sheet edge engaging means for positioning a third edge of the sheet
  • movable fourth sheet edge engaging means for moving a fourth edge opposite said third edge toward said third sheet edge engaging means.
  • the first and third sheet edge engaging means includes fixed edge stops and said second and fourth sheet edge engaging means include movable elongated bars.
  • Sheets cushioning means is also provided for stopping the sheets as they are delivered to the compartments to avoid damage to the edges of the sheet.
  • the advantages of the apparatus are quite apparent.
  • a savings in handling is readily available since the sheets are removed from the sorter or collator in a permanently bound condition.
  • the sheets can be merely tacked at one or more spots on the sheets to temporarily hold the sheets in a bound condition for subsequent permanent binding with a permanent cover.
  • the temporary binding allows the sheets to be properly aligned in the collator or sorter and not lose this alignment enroute to the permanent binder.
  • the versatility available in binding sheets in one or any selected number of compartments simultaneously allows some of the compartments to have their sheets bound while others remain loose as desired. Since less than the entire edges can be bound if desired, the bound document may be more easily provided with tear out pages or be available for other uses not requiring a permanent binding.
  • a unique and novel endless belt is utilized for applying a liquid adhesive to the edges of the sheets
  • the broad principles of the invention are equally applicable to other types of binding mediums.
  • the edges can be precoated and bound in the collator or sorter by spraying or applying heat or light.
  • the compartments can be spaced horizontally and the binding medium moved in a vertical plane into contact with the sheets.
  • FIG. 1 is an isometric view of a sorter, or the like embodying the principles of the invention.
  • FIG. 3 is a side elevation taken along the direction of the arrows 3--3 of FIG. 2.
  • FIG. 4 is a plan view taken along the line 4--4 of FIG. 3.
  • FIG. 4A is a schematic illustration of a portion of the jogging mechanism.
  • FIG. 5 is a horizontal section taken along the line 5--5 of FIG. 3.
  • FIG. 6 is a fragmentary vertical section taken along the line 6--6 of FIG. 2.
  • FIG. 11 is a side elevation taken along the line 11--11 of FIG. 10.
  • FIG. 12 is a fragmentary vertical section taken along the line 12--12 of FIG. 10.
  • FIG. 13 is a fragmentary side elevation with parts broken away for clarity taken generally in the direction of the arrows 13--13 of FIG. 1.
  • FIG. 16 pertains to the jogger controls
  • FIG. 17 pertains primarily to the glue coating controls
  • FIG. 18 pertains primarily to the binder positioning controls.
  • the apparatus of this invention is best illustrated in FIG. 1 as used with a sheet sorter.
  • the sorter includes a sheet feeding means such as the belts 20 which direct sheets of paper S along a path intersecting with a movable deflector 22.
  • the deflector is positioned vertically by an endless chain 23 and deflects the paper from the belts 20 into a vertical column of sheet bins or compartments 24.
  • a suitable sorter is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,604,321 which is incorporated herein by reference.
  • the compartments are housed in a movable frame 26 which is supported by rollers 29 (FIG. 3).
  • the rollers ride in a track 27 which is part of a base 28.
  • the rollers permit the movable frame to be moved away from the sheet feeding means for clearing jams. While this type of sheet compartment unit is described, it should be understood that the invention is usable with other well known sorting machines.
  • the side edge sheet jogger includes a pair of fixed gauge bars 30, positioned along one opened side of the row of compartments and a pair of movable jogging bars 32, movable within slots 34 of the compartments.
  • the movable jogging bars 32 are oscillated by a pair of bell cranks 35 and 36 which are oscillated in unison by link 37.
  • a main bell crank 44 is oscillated by a lever 46.
  • the lever pivots about a pin 47 on an adjustable bracket 48.
  • the bracket is threaded on an adjustment shaft 50.
  • the remote end of the lever 46 is powered by an electric motor 53 which rotates the cam 52 between the solid line and dotted line position in FIG. 4. Rotation of the cam 52 causes the elongated side edge sheet jogging bars 32 to move in and out in unison to move the sheets over against the fixed guage bars 30.
  • an end edge sheet jogging bar 54 is located at the rear wall of the compartment 24. As best shown in FIGS. 2 and 6, the bar 54 is joined at each end to bell cranks 56. The bell cranks are oscillated by links 58 and 59. Link 58 is reciprocated by a push-pull cable 60 that is coupled to the cam 52. Link 59 is also reciprocated by the cable 60 via a set of links 64 and 66. Consequently, rotation of the cam 52 causes simultaneous oscillation of the side edger bars 32 and the end edge sheet jogger 54.
  • the end edge jogger moves the sheets forwardly against the forward inside edge 69 of the lower surface of the compartments 24.
  • a passive sheet stop 70 located at the rearward end of the compartments 24 is a passive sheet stop 70.
  • the passive sheet stop is an elongated bar having a substantial thickness of foam rubber or the like at its forward end. The foam rubber absorbs the impact of the sheet as it is moved into the compartment from the deflector 22 and protects the edge from being damaged.
  • FIGS. 7 and 8 show the operation of the joggers.
  • a sheet has just come to rest against the passive end stop 70 and the jogger bars 32 and 54 are separated from the sheet.
  • the cam plate 52 has rotated into the solid line position simultaneously moving the side edge joggers 32 and the end edge sheet jogger 54 against a sheet to move the sheet upward and to the right as viewed in FIG. 8.
  • the edges of the sheet abutted against the gauge bars 30 are all in the same vertical plane and the end edges are also in a vertical plane making the groups of sheets suitably arranged for binding.
  • the end edge sheet jogger bar 54 and sheet stop 70 can be positioned relative to the compartments to provide for differing sheet sizes, as best shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B.
  • the end edge jogger 70 is carried on a frame 74 which slides in a pair of spaced tracks 76.
  • the frame is positioned toward and away from the compartments by a parallelogram cable system 78.
  • the cable system couples the upper end of the frame 74 to the lower end of the frame so that both ends move in direct parallelism with each other to keep the active jogging element 54 in a straight vertical line.
  • the frame 74 is locked in its set position by a brake 80 that is pushed against a brake shoe 82 by a movable roller 84.
  • the apparatus is provided with a weight bar frame 100 which, as best shown in FIGS. 13-15 is provided with a plurality of bars 102 each positioned in a compartment 24.
  • the purpose of the bars 102 is to compress the edges of the groups of aligned sheets to hold them with enough pressure to maintain their alignment as the binding medium is being applied to the edges of the sheets.
  • the pressure is derived from the weight of the frame 100 as it is allowed to move downwardly.
  • the weight bar frame is held upwardly by a pin 104 mounted on a cam rotated by motor 106.
  • the pin rolls against a link 108 that is pinned at one end to the weight bar frame and rests along its upper edge on a pin 110 fixed to the main frame of the machine.
  • the weight frame is held up.
  • the motor is energized to allow the pin 104 to move to the position shown in FIG. 14, the link 108 is lowered at its right end, allowing the weight bar frame to drop with its bars 102 coming to rest on the sheets of paper adjacent the fixed gauge bars 30.
  • the transferring mechanism for moving the glue from the discharge passage 112 to the edges of the sheets is best shown also in FIGS. 10 and 11 and includes an endless metallic belt 130 which passes over upper and lower pulleys 132 following a path which passes the outer surface of the belt over the remote opening of the discharge passage 112. As the belt passes the discharge passage, it picks-up a supply of glue and carries it downwardly about the lower roller 132 and then upwardly to a desired position opposed to the edges of the sheets in the desired compartments. As is readily apparent, the belt can be moved all the way to the top roller 132 to cover all compartments or can be rotated only far enough to have the glue coated portion of the belt against the lowermost compartments. Any glue that migrates around to the inside surface of the belt is removed by a scraper 136 that allows the glue to flow through a tube 138 into a clean out tray 140.
  • the belt 130 is shown in an extended position such that it engages against the side edges of the sheets S abutting the gauge bars 30.
  • the belt is of a substantially narrow width such that it covers only a small portion of the edges during each period of contact. It is thus necessary to retract the belt and replenish the supply of glue on the belt prior to again contacting the sheets either for a second coating of glue or at a second location along the edges.
  • the rollers 132 for supporting the belt are rotatably mounted in a frame 142.
  • the frame is movably supported by upper and lower identical linkages 144 and 146.
  • the links 148 are mounted on a crank 152 that is rotated by a reversible electric motor 154.
  • the reversible electric motor is also coupled to the belt rollers 132 by a chain and sprocket system 156.
  • a lower roller drive sprocket 132a and a crankshaft drive sprocket 155 are provided with overrunning clutches so that operation of the drive motor 154 in one direction rotates the lower drive roller while the crankshaft idles and vice versa.
  • either the belt or alternatively the linkages 144 and 146 are in operation.
  • the belt In the retracted position, the belt is moved away from the edges of the sheets so that the replenished surface of the belt is free to move upwardly into position for the next coating.
  • the glue coated portion of the belt 130 can be positioned vertically to cover a selected number of compartments, by making adjustments to timer that controls motor 154.
  • the belt is also positionable laterally so that coatings of glue can be applied to the edges of the sheet in the compartments at any location or locations along the edges of the sheet.
  • a housing 160 supports the binding apparatus and is carried by rollers 162 (FIG. 10) at its lower end. The upper end of the housing is guided along a channel 164 by a pair of rollers 166.
  • the housing 160 is moved laterally by a cable and winch system employing a cable 168a that dead ends on the frame 28 at two places. The cables pass beneath the rollers 162 and up to a winch drum 170.
  • the winch drum is powered by a reversible motor 172.
  • one cable 168a takes a one loop turn around the winch drum on the left side, as viewed in FIG. 11, then upwardly about a pulley 174 on the housing 160 and across again to the frame 28.
  • a second cable 168b is secured to the frame 28 in two places and then passes around pulleys 180 and 181 which are fixed to the housing 160 and thence again to the main frame 28.
  • rotation of the motor to raise the lower portion of the cable 168a forces the rollers 162 to the left thus moving the housing to the left as viewed in FIG. 11.
  • Downward movement of the lower portion of the cable 168a pulls the pulley 174 to the right thus moving the housing to the right as viewed in FIG. 11.
  • the housing 160 is shown in phantom lines in its home position. In this position, the housing is partly shielded by a plate 188 which helps to retain heat and direct air into the housing.
  • the motor 172 is energized by signals from a switch SBP that is actuated by buttons 194 on a control bar 190 rotatably carried in a frame 191.
  • the buttons can be eliminated as at 194a to skip a location on the sheets. Any number of buttons and spaces may be used to determine the location of the glue on the edges of the sheets.
  • the rod is rotatable and has six sides each with a different set of buttons for selective programming. As will be described below, the housing 160 moves to the left as shown in FIG. 14, and then returns under control of the button arrangement as it moves to the right going through one or more complete sheet contacting and glue replenishing cycles at each of the contact locations.
  • the glue pot 110 is provided with heating elements 196 to keep the contents of the pot in liquid state.
  • a backing bar or channel 198 is provided behind the belt 130 and is also suitably heated its entire length to keep the glue on the belt in a liquid state.
  • the undesirable odors that may occur from the molten glue are removed by connecting the upper end of the housing to a filter box 200 having a filter 202. Air and fumes are drawn from the housing 26 through the filter by a fan 204 such that the air leaving the bottom of the filter box is substantially free of odors.
  • the method of in-line binding of sheets in a collator, sorter or the like comprises feeding the sheets into a plurality of spaced compartments, aligning the edges of the sheets in the compartments, compressing those edges of the compartments where the glue is to be applied and applying a bonding medium to the edges.
  • the preferred embodiment described in this application uses a hot melt glue with a belt for distributing the glue to the edges of the sheets. The preferred method is best understood by describing it in conjunction with a description of the operation of the machine and the wiring schematic illustrated in FIGS. 16-18.
  • double bind relay KDB is energized through bind position relay contact KBP-5, power switch, "Standby” Switch, "Bind” Switch, glue level relay contact KBL-2, KCD-2, and SHP-2NO. Holding path for KDB is through KDB-3, SSP, and KDB-5.
